PRINTERS GALLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,525, dated August 24, 1880. Application tiled November 10, 1879.

To all whom it may concern: i

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. BATE- MAN and FItANcIs X. HooPEE, both of Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Print ers Galleys; and we hereby declare the same to be fully, clearly, and exactly described as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a perspective view of the device; top and bottom plans of the corners; Fig. 4, a sectional view on line mw, Fig. 3.

Our invention has reference to printers galleys for holding type; and it has for its object to produce a galley embodying in maximum degree theattributes of lightness and strength.

Our invention consists in a galley having tubular walls secured to a base-plate and reenforced at the corners by a metallic filling, as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, A is the base-plate, and B the tubular walls, the crosssection of the latter being a right-angled isosceles triangle having its acute angles truncated, forming edges b b', which receive any accidental blows and prevent the walls from being battered or indented. These walls are secured to the base-plate by means of screws E, the open ends being plugged with wood, as shown, to prevent entrance of dirt, &c.

In forming the galley the tubes are mitered at the corners, and in each is placed a, plug,

C, ot cork or wood or other suitable material. The walls being screwed to the plate, type- 3 5 metal, lead, solder, or other suitable readilyfusible metal is poured through holes (l until, the space between the plugs G is completely vlled, thereby connecting the walls at the corners by means of a solid metallic filling, which 4o not only secures them together, but to the baseplate also, as thescrews E are embedded in the metal, and the latter ills the holes d tlush with the surface of the base-plate.

It will be readily understood that the joint 45 leaves nothing to be desired in point ot' strength.

Before running in the filling the inside of the` tubes may be tinned, if' desired, when a perfect adhesion of the filling thereto will be 5o insured; but this is scarcely necessary.

What we claim is- The galleyherein described, having tubular walls B, provided with plugs O, screws E, and lling cast through holes d, substantially as 5 5 set forth.
